This is my 100th deviation here at deviantART and so this is something special - my first attempt at stippling.

I first drew the reference image lightly in pencil, and then actually placed the dots, then erased the pencils.

With the exception of the solid black areas for the hair, I really did do everything else by placing dots on the paper. Two pens used - one a black gel ink pen, and the other is a marker that you'd use to write on a CD/DVD. Done on A5 size paper.

Since my scanner is not working, this is actually a photo of the drawing, with adjustments in Photoshop.

I do have the in-progress pics as photos (my scanner isn't working, so all the recent stuff is photos only). I think I will post two of them (the only-pencil one, and the one step just before the final version). I understand what you mean... I also like those in progress images. So I will upload them.
